Hello,
Recently, I built an app using the Strava API to automatically retrieve my activity data and store them in a database. I noticed that, using the “https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete/activities” API endpoint retrieves the calories as kilojoules, for example “"kilojoules": 637.0”. The calories shown in my Strava account are shown in calories units. Based on the same activity of the above example, I see in my account the value of 427 Cal.
However, 637.0 kilojoules are 152.2 calories - that is, a very different number from 427 Cal shown in my account.
I wanted to ask if I am missing any other conversion steps or how exactly are Calories calculated in the application but are different from the API? How can I transform the 637 kilojoules to the number that I am seeing in my account?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Best,
Panos
